Action on the Sustainable Development Goals by business is at risk of stagnation, and if one looks deeper at even the periods of progress, there has always been a lot of limitations, and a lot more to do. At the same time, the challenges the world is facing are compounding, meaning business performance towards achieving the SDGs is falling further and further behind. With less than a decade to achieve them, it’s necessary to course-correct, and business must play an essential role in accelerating progress.
B Lab Global’s Insights team has created a report that leverages the thousands of users (and data points) of the SDG Action Manager to conduct a comprehensive analysis of where companies are prioritizing actions on the SDGs, how they are performing, and what they are looking to improve upon.
With a larger and deeper data set, we believe this report is a valuable contribution to the broader dialogue about business action on the SDGs, and the results have reinforced what a lot of us already know – businesses need to be more ambitious and strategic in their actions on the SDGs if we hope to achieve them by 2030.
